IN THE NEWS
Primary school celebrates 40th anniversary
2012 is the 40th anniversary of the opening of St Clares Catholic Primary School here in
Lache.
Originally St Franciss School, in Cuppin Street, the school log book from the time records
that the new school opened in April 1972 as St Clares Roman Catholic Aided Combined
and Middle School.
Head teacher Terry Daltrey said: The log book makes very interesting reading, and records
many signicant events, not just for the school, but for the local and wider community.
They also have a Punishment Book for St. Franciss School dating from 1928!
To celebrate the occasion the school is working with all the children to research the history
of the last 40 years, and this will culminate in a special open afternoon, to be held on
Thursday 6th December starting at 1pm.
Any past pupils, parents and staff of St Clares or St. Franciss are welcome.
A 70s Day and Disco will be held for current pupils and staff on Friday 7th December.
Inspection joy for pre-school
EDUCATION inspectors have given the seal of approval to the Leaps and Bounds Pre-
School in Eccleston. The Ofsted inspection found that the pre-school on Church Road was
good and that the childrens behaviour was excellent.

Local policing priorities have been set following engagement
with the local community and based on information fed back at
surgeries held with local residents:
Number 16 Bus
Issues have been raised concerning the anti
social behaviour of a number of school children
who use the number 16 bus.
Plans to address the issue:
PCSO Jo Pendrey along with colleagues PCSO Rachael
McKevitt and PCSO Chris Fox have been riding the bus
for the last 2 weeks in order to identify individuals involved.
This will continue after the half term break and any
individuals found responsible for any anti social behaviour
will be dealt with accordingly. The local schools have also
been notied of these incidents and have advised pupils
about their behaviour outside of school. We are working
closely with the schools and Bus Company in order to
resolve these issues.

WINTER COLOUR
GARDENING BY JANET HEATH
DECEMBER is a quiet time in the R
garden but there are plants that will
lift the spirit by the beauty of the
form, foliage or owers. Berries on
trees and shrubs give Christmas cheer
and this year there has been a good
show.
I love the varieties of Cotoneaster with
their cheerful red berries. Cotoneaster
horizontalis has herring bone like stems that
grow at against walls. Red berries remain
on the stems for a while after the leaves
have dropped giving a lovely effect against
a fence or wall. Larger Cotoneasters such
a Cotoneaster frigidus Cornubia is a shrub
which is semi evergreen and has clusters of red
berries till the birds eat them in cold weather.
Cotoneaster lacteus is evergreen with arching
branches laden with red berries and looks
stunning as a specimen small tree in a lawn.
Most Cotoneasters have white owers in early
spring and their leaves colour well in autumn
plus the bonus of berries in winter so think
about having one in your garden.
Beautiful bark is a feature of winter and the
pale cream or white of silver birches is well
worth seeing against a dark background.
Other trees with beautiful bark are the Acers,
especially Acer griseum with peeling coppery
bark which is a good tree for a sheltered spot
in smaller gardens. Similar copper colour
comes from Prunus serrula bark which has
a smooth texture and polish to the bark that
the Acer griseum lacks. Snake bark Acers such
as Acer davidii (Snakebark Acer) and Acer
pensylvanicum (Striped maple) have green and
white striped bark.
Frost on plants looks fresh and sparkling on
Holly or Heuchera plants. Heucheras tend to
keep some of their foliage in winter making
them valuable perennials for year round
interest. The photo of Heuchera Rufes with
frosted leaves is beautiful picture on a crisp
sunny morning.
Continue to tidy up in the garden by cutting
down dead foliage and pruning overgrown
shrubs. Make sure plants like Hostas,
Rodgersias and Paeonies, with their large leaf
buds, have a mulch of well rotted manure over
and around their crowns to protect them from
frost.
Weed the vegetable beds and add a layer of
organic matter such as well rotted manure. No
need to dig it in just let the worms take it down
into the soil for you.
